It can only be laughed at...

Gas price wise, I don't really count the on-going massive drop coming into his presidency on the cost of gas, his doing.. but the increase is a different story - and it did go up.

He did lower taxes for the rich, and increased taxes for everyone else. Which was a good thing it helped the lower classes invest more, it just would have been nice if the rich did it too rather than been given the keys to moving off shore.

That and more... ended up driving up the cost of interest rates, homes, making it damn impossible to start a business.. all of which of course really means the lower classes made far less money, cost of living was higher, taxes increased in areas never before, he increased our national debt more than any president in history.

Amnesty is stupid... presidents should be skinned alive for it.

Oh I remember AIDS, I also know presidents shouldn't take bad information and repeat it to the public. It's what the last president did when he started an illegal war, but I guess that does relate to Reagan after all.

The man has a hell of a record... it gives Obama a real goal to shoot for.
